Public Report to the Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee Activities of the Crime and Corruption Commission for the period 1 April to 30 June 2019
About this report
This report has been prepared by the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) for discussion at its public meeting with the Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee (PCCC) on 23 August 2019.
The report covers the period 1 April to 30 June 2019 and includes year‐to‐date statistics for the 2018–19 financial year, unless otherwise noted.
Some investigations undertaken by the CCC cannot be reported on publicly until they are finalised. Reporting on them could compromise a current investigation, cause reputational damage to those people under investigation or risk breaching legislation. Discussing the progress of an investigation also carries with it a risk of identifying people who are assisting by confidentially providing information to the CCC.
Similarly, it is not possible to include detailed reports on short‐term or recent performance from the CCC’s witness protection program.
The CCC acknowledges there is a public interest in our business and we need to report publicly to our parliamentary oversight committee, the PCCC. The information in this report strikes a balance between providing information to the public and protecting confidential CCC processes.

CCC Commissioners
Alan MacSporran QC Sydney Williams QC Marshall Irwin Prof. Anne Tiernan Deborah Holliday Chairperson Deputy Chairperson Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner A message on behalf of the Commission
I am pleased to present this report to the Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee on the activities of the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) for the period 1 April to 30 June 2019. The CCC has been busy finalising its reporting for the 2018‐19 financial year and preparing for the year ahead. The Strategic Plan 2019–23, which is now publicly available, has repositioned our areas of focus to include corruption involving exploitation of public sector resources, and a broader focus on stakeholder engagement and critical organisational capabilities. The new strategic plan also articulates our current strategic opportunities and risks, including keeping ahead of change, actively engaging with our stakeholders, and future‐proofing our workforce. In April, the CCC commenced its restructure to a service‐led design which will support the development of our critical capabilities. The restructure is expected to be finalised in October 2019 and I would like to thank staff for all their hard work and willingness to embrace change as we transition to a stronger, more responsive organisation. Since our last meeting there have been a number of significant operational outcomes for the CCC. In April 2019, the CCC charged the suspended mayor and seven councillors of Logan City Council following an investigation known as Operation Front. The operation, which remains an ongoing investigation, is one of the most significant investigations this agency has carried out. It is also a reminder of the importance of having an independent agency dedicated to combatting major crime and public sector corruption for the benefit of all Queenslanders. Other operational outcomes include an eighth person being charged as a result of Operation Stockade (an investigation into the activities of a Brisbane‐based law firm), a sixteenth person charged as a result of Operation Windage (an investigation into Ipswich City Council), a councillor being charged with corrupt conduct relating to Moreton Bay Regional Council, and an employee of Palm Island Aboriginal Shire Council being charged with 24 fraud offences. I am also pleased to report that Proceeds of Crime outcomes have exceeded their targets for the financial year. Specifically, we restrained $28.249M in assets (against a target of $18.5M), and $13.652M was forfeited to the state (against a target of $7.25M). Building strong cultures of integrity is the single most significant action public sector leaders can take to address corruption. In June, Ms Jen O’Farrell, our Chief Executive Officer, and I travelled to Adelaide for the annual meeting with the heads of Australia’s integrity and anti‐corruption agencies. This meeting is an important part of the Australian integrity framework and we were able to discuss issues of mutual interest to pursue our common goal of reducing corruption in public sector agencies. Our commitment to advancing the national reconciliation movement continues as we delivered a number of activities under our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) during the reporting period. To mark National Reconciliation Week, the CCC held an all staff event with guest speaker Professor Bronwyn Fredericks from The University of Queensland, who spoke to the theme, Grounded in Truth, Walk Together with Courage. In June, I visited the remote Indigenous communities of Mapoon and Napranum with our Director of Corruption Operations and Indigenous Advisor. These regional ‘Listening Tours’ continue to provide an invaluable opportunity to hear first‐hand from Indigenous communities about corruption, crime, policing and other law and justice issues. Finally, the CCC’s Annual Report for 2018‐19 is due to be tabled by the end of September 2019 and will provide a comprehensive report of our performance over the financial year.

Public Report to the Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee 7
Agency overview
The Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) is an independent statutory body established to reduce the incidence of major crime and public sector corruption in Queensland, and to provide the state’s witness protection service. It focuses on major crime that poses the greatest threat to the Queensland community and matters that erode the integrity of its public institutions.
Our crime jurisdiction enables us to investigate major crime such as drug trafficking, fraud, money laundering and criminal paedophilia. Our corruption jurisdiction is broad and diverse, including state government departments, public sector agencies and statutory bodies, the Queensland Police Service (QPS), local governments, government‐owned corporations, universities, prisons, courts, tribunals and elected officials. The CCC investigates only the most serious or systemic allegations of corrupt conduct. The Crime and Corruption Act 2001 sets out our agency’s primary functions, powers and governance structure. Investigative powers
The CCC’s investigative powers include search, surveillance and seizure powers. Where we conduct joint investigations with other agencies, we use these powers as well as our expertise in intelligence, financial analysis, forensic computing and covert investigative techniques. Coercive hearings The CCC also has powers to conduct coercive hearings that compel people to attend and give evidence, and to produce documents and other material. Coercive hearings are held to investigate major crime and allegations of serious corruption. The CCC can also respond quickly to incidents of terrorism by immediately conducting hearings. Proceeds of crime
The CCC administers the non‐conviction based civil confiscation scheme contained within Chapter 2 of the Criminal Proceeds Confiscation Act 2002 (CPCA). Under this scheme, property is liable to be restrained if it belongs to, or is under the effective control of, someone who is suspected of having engaged in serious criminal activity. Restrained property is liable to be forfeited to the state unless a person proves, on the balance of probabilities, that it was lawfully acquired.
The CCC also administers the serious drug offender confiscation order scheme contained within Chapter 2A of the CPCA. This is a conviction‐based scheme dependent upon a person’s conviction of a serious drug offence under the Penalties and Sentences Act 1992. Intelligence Intelligence informs and guides the CCC’s operational and strategic priorities and provides support and direction to the crime and corruption areas. Our intelligence function enhances law enforcement’s understanding of the criminal environment in Queensland, increases the CCC’s capability to respond to threats and opportunities posed by high‐risk crime groups, and enables resource allocation based on assessed levels of threat and harm. Research
The CCC conducts research to support the proper performance of its functions in areas such as crime, corruption, policing and the criminal justice system. Prevention
The CCC has a statutory function to prevent crime and corruption.

Areas of focus 2018–19 ______
Performance outcomes from 1 April to June 2019 are detailed in the following pages.
Public Report to the Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee 9 Area of focus: Target participants in criminal organisations that are active in illicit markets of highest threat to Queensland communities
The sale and distribution of illicit drugs remains one of the most pervasive forms of organised crime in Queensland. Though difficult to quantify, its high cost to Queensland is clear in the toll it takes on individuals, families and communities, the impost on the state health system and related services, and the increasing pressures on law enforcement. We are focusing on criminal organisations that are active in these and other high threat markets. Organised crime operations
Investigations remain ongoing in relation to: alleged drug trafficking, money laundering, and associated offences by members of a Brisbane and regionally‐ based drugs trafficking syndicate. To date, the investigation has resulted in the arrest of eight people for 22 charges including drug possession exceeding the scheduled weights for the circumstance of aggravation. a joint QPS/CCC investigation focused on the supply of amphetamines and related drugs into Queensland. The investigation commenced in March 2019 and, to date, has resulted in the arrest of 11 people for 54 charges, and the seizure of drugs with an approximate value of $25,000, weapons and stolen vehicles. Intelligence operations
An ongoing intelligence operation focuses on the current conflict between the Rebels and Bandidos OMCGs in the Logan/Beenleigh area. This is in addition to an already commenced major crime investigation by the CCC into a shooting incident at the Logan Hyperdome on 4 February 2019 (see below under ‘Organised Crime’). Intelligence activities
An intelligence assessment examining illicit markets and organised crime activity in Queensland has been completed. Several intelligence products on emerging methodologies and trends in illicit markets have been completed and disclosed to partner law enforcement agencies. The findings from this assessment will assist the prioritisation of high risk matters and aid efficient use of CCC resources to target activity that pose the greatest threat to the Queensland community.
An intelligence assessment was concluded on two high threat criminal networks alleged to be involved in the distribution of methylamphetamine and other high risk drugs in Queensland. Intelligence activities on these networks have been finalised and numerous intelligence products in relation to persons alleged to be involved in criminal activity have been completed. These products have been disclosed to partner law enforcement agencies to inform current investigations and future targeting opportunities. Intelligence enquiries have commenced on a further two high threat criminal networks. These networks are alleged to be involved in or enabling the distribution of high risk drugs and other organised crime activity in Queensland. Proceeds of crime recovery An overview of proceeds of crime outcomes are outlined in Table 1. Table 1: Illicit markets proceeds of crime outcomes (1 April to 30 June 2019)
Description Number Value
Restraining orders obtained 29 $8.768 M
Forfeitures of property to the state 36 $6.920 M
Public Report to the Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee 10
Area of focus: Respond to the most serious organised crime threats and advance investigations into unresolved major crime
The CCC works in co‐operation with other agencies, in particular the QPS, making optimal use of available resources to respond to the most serious organised crime threats and achieve better outcomes for serious crimes that are unlikely to be resolved with powers ordinarily available to police. Cold cases Extensive examinations were held as part of a hearing in relation to the disappearance and suspected murder of a 21‐year‐old man at Airlie Beach in 2007. To date, two persons have been charged by police with the man’s murder.
A hearing was also held in relation to the murders of three persons near Mount Isa in 1978. A man was charged with three counts of murder shortly after these examinations. Child abuse
A hearing was held in relation to the alleged torture and doing of grievous bodily harm to a three‐month‐old baby girl on the Gold Coast in early 2019. The investigation is ongoing. Criminal paedophilia A hearing was held with a view to obtaining passwords to encrypted devices found to be in the possession of a Brisbane‐based convicted child sex offender who is a Reportable Offender under the Child Protection (Offender Reporting and Offender Prohibition Order) Act 2004. The examination of a witness was successful in identifying further devices containing child abuse material and additional lines of enquiry. Fraud and Money Laundering An investigation focused on allegations of serious fraud and money laundering by a principal solicitor of a Brisbane‐ ‐based law firm was finalised. The investigation identified evidence in relation to the receipt of cash payments from criminal clients and a failure to deposit those payments into the firm’s trust accounts as required by law. The investigation identified evidence that some of the clients of the firm also received significant financial support from Queensland Legal Aid by providing falsified pay summaries and other documentary evidence to support their grant applications. The investigation resulted in the arrest of eight people on a total of 20 charges including aggravated fraud, aggravated money laundering, falsification of records, and breaching bail.
An intelligence operation, which commenced in March 2019, transitioned to a full investigation focused on suspected money laundering activities by a group of persons based in Queensland exhibiting unexplained wealth. Organised Crime
Hearings were held to support investigations in relation to:
an incident at the Logan Hyperdome on 4 February 2019 where a meeting between representatives of the Rebels OMCG and the Bandidos OMCG degenerated to an affray, in the course of which a man was shot in the leg.
organised criminal activity involving trafficking of drugs, including cocaine and methylamphetamine, on the part of a criminal syndicate operating in Toowoomba and elsewhere in South East Queensland since 2016.
criminal activity involving burglaries, receiving tainted property and trafficking in weapons committed by a Gatton‐based syndicate since July 2018. Several witnesses were charged with contempt for refusing to be sworn or to answer questions during the hearing.
suspected match‐fixing conduct within the thoroughbred horse‐racing industry in Queensland.

Public Report to the Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee 12
Area of focus: Pursue corruption involving elected officials, excessive use of force and misuse of confidential information
Elected officials
Elected officials must act with integrity and should exercise judgement that is not motivated or perceived to be motivated by self‐interest and that puts the interests of the public ahead of their own personal interest. Failure to demonstrate accountability and transparency in decision‐making can severely erode public confidence in the work of elected officials. In the reporting period, the CCC received 64 complaints relating to elected officials. This currently accounts for 8 per cent of all complaints received.
Allegations against elected officials account for approximately 44 per cent of the CCC’s current investigations. These investigations relate to local governments throughout Queensland and members of parliament. The most common allegations being investigated include misappropriation or unauthorised use of resources, misuse of authority and duty failures. Significant outcomes during the reporting period include the suspended Logan Mayor and seven current councillors being charged for their alleged involvement in causing a dishonest detriment to the former CEO. The suspended Mayor was also charged for allegedly interfering in a recruitment process and commencing a dishonest probation process. During the reporting period, two new investigations commenced regarding misuse of authority and duty failure.
The CCC referred one matter back to a local council to investigate subject to monitoring by the CCC.
The CCC was satisfied with the way 18 investigations reviewed during the period were dealt with. A summary of outcomes relating to investigations and reviews of elected officials are outlined in Table 3. Table 3. Summary of outcomes –investigations and reviews1 (1 April to 30 June 2019)

Prevention recommendations 0 Note: 1. The CCC monitors the way an agency deals with an allegation of corruption by doing one or more of the following: if the allegation is serious, reviewing the investigation while it is in progress reviewing the outcomes, once the matter has been finalised. Excessive use of force Excessive use of force by a public sector employee against a member of the public constitutes a serious abuse of power. Allegations of this type are most commonly received about police officers and other officers working in corrections and youth detention. The CCC continues to investigate and closely monitor allegations of excessive use of force within the Queensland public sector.
In the reporting period, the CCC received 131 complaints relating to excessive use of force. This currently accounts for 16 per cent of all complaints received.
Public Report to the Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee 13
The number of allegations received relating to excessive use of force has decreased by 16% in 2018‐19 when compared to the same period in 2017‐18. While there is no single explanation for the decrease, the CCC is optimistic about the influence of its focus of resources in this area.
The CCC referred 18 matters back to QPS, Queensland Corrective Services (QCS), Hospital and Health Services and the Department of Child Safety, Youth and Women to investigate subject to monitoring by the CCC. The CCC was satisfied with the way 28 investigations reviewed during the period were dealt with.

Improper release of confidential information
The CCC focuses on misuse of confidential information because the security and privacy of sensitive data is of great concern to the community, and it is a significant corruption issue facing the Queensland public sector. The CCC deals with the issue of misuse of confidential information through conducting investigations, reviewing other agency investigations, audits and the development of guidance material for units of public administration (UPAs).
In the reporting period, the CCC received 163 complaints relating to the misuse of information. This currently accounts for 20 per cent of all complaints received. The number of allegations received relating to misuse of information have increased by 28% in 2018‐19 when compared to 2017‐18. Misuse of confidential information continues to be an area of concern for the CCC and following the results of a recent survey of CCC Liaison Officers, it is also a leading concern for the public sector. Corruption involving misuse of confidential information will continue to be an area of focus for the CCC in 2019‐20.
Significant outcomes arising out of the reporting period include a councillor from Moreton Bay Regional Council being charged with one count of official corruption, contrary to section 87(1)(a) of the Criminal Code. The investigation remains ongoing.
In the reporting period, 27 matters were referred to departments to investigate subject to monitoring by the CCC. The matters are spread across a variety of sectors including local government, QPS, QCS, Hospital and Health Services and the Department of Child Safety, Youth and Women.
The CCC was satisfied with the way 52 investigations reviewed during the period were dealt with.
A summary of outcomes relating to improper release of confidential information investigations and reviews are outlined in Table 5.

Prevention recommendations 1
Area of focus: Collaborate with key stakeholders to implement and monitor a program of reform of the police complaints and discipline system
A fair and robust performance management and discipline system is essential for ensuring the ongoing integrity of the Queensland Police Service, and for ensuring public confidence in the work of police. Joint Assessment and Moderation Committee
The Joint Assessment and Moderation Committee (JAMC) reviews how serious complaints are triaged and monitored, and aims to improve the timeliness and consistency in approach when the QPS investigates complaints against its own officers. The JAMC includes representatives from the CCC and the QPS Ethical Standards Command (ESC).
In the reporting period, the JAMC assessed 27 complaint matters. Investigation Consultation Process The Investigation Consultation Process (ICP) is the second tier of the JAMC process. It does not meet on every matter, instead focussing on matters that are the subject of the CCC’s statutory monitoring function.
Matters can be nominated by either the QPS or the CCC. Topics for discussion may include opportunities for collaboration between the QPS and the CCC on contemporary investigative methodologies. The QPS can raise issues that have arisen in the course of an investigation that are contentious or that impact on resources and the CCC can make clear its expectations regarding investigations and outcomes. The ICP meetings reduce the time delay between tasking and action, which results in the timely investigation of matters.
In the reporting period, four ICP meetings were held in relation to 14 matters. The ICP considered topics relating to inappropriate access and disclosure of information from the QPS QPRIME database, breaches of domestic violence orders (DVOs), misuse of authority and failure of duty.
The CCC is focusing on misuse of information allegations, which often constitute offences under the Criminal Code and/or under the Police Service Administration Act 1990. An outcome from the JAMC is that there has been an increase in prosecutions of both sworn and unsworn officers for identified data breaches, and increased knowledge of CCC expectations amongst the Professional Practice Managers (PPMs) in the regions.
Concerns about breaches of DVOs are being discussed, particularly as the QPS is a supporter of White Ribbon Australia with a number of its serving members officers ‘white ribbon’ ambassadors for preventing violence against women. The issue has been recognised by the QPS and changes to policy and procedures are being considered by the QPS Legal and Policy Unit.
Public Report to the Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee 15
Area of focus: Continue to improve organisational performance through the development of our data analytics capability, the implementation of an integrated case management system, and by focussing on our workforce through targeted leadership development programs, workforce mobility, mentoring and talent management
Data analytics capability – Research and Insights
The CCC continues to develop its data analytics capability. A review of the CCC’s corruption allegations data framework focused on improving data quality has been completed and corruption allegations trends and areas of high interest continue to be analysed. This analysis will help inform the CCC’s future focus and vision with respect to corruption. Implementation of an integrated case management system
Program Unify is a significant body of work that will underpin the CCC’s future state operational activities and ensure the CCC has alignment and integration across all such activities. This work includes: developing an agency‐wide operating model, operational framework, governance arrangements and operations manual, and
introducing a new case management system (CMS) to support investigations and projects, and provide enhanced workflow tracking capabilities.
The CCC’s new operations manual will consolidate many of the CCC’s policies and procedures related to operational activity. The operations manual will be strongly linked to functionality available in the new CMS, which is now planned to go live in mid 2020. Enhanced Governance, Risk and Compliance
The CCC is also implementing a new Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) system to publish the operations manual and manage the CCC’s legislative compliance and risk registers. The GRC platform is expected to be operational from August 2019, and will be continuously improved throughout 2019. Improving access to CCC services and information The CCC is implementing a range of initiatives to enhance the user experience of the Queensland community and their access to the services provided by the CCC. The development of the CCC’s new website will provide enhanced functionality and an improved user experience. The new website is scheduled for completion by the end of August 2019. The CCC continues to develop its social media presence to improve access to information about how the CCC combats major crime and reduces corruption for the benefit of the Queensland community. Members of the public can also subscribe to hear about the CCC’s work or new career opportunities. Developing our leaders
In May 2019, the CCC launched the Future Leaders Program which is targeted at staff employed at the AO5/PO3 and above classification level who do not currently have supervisory responsibilities but who aspire to take on a leadership role as part of their career progression. This program will provide 35 participants with insight into their existing leadership strengths and development opportunities using the LEAD4QLD tool which has been widely adopted across the Queensland public sector. These insights will enable the CCC to provide targeted and tailored development opportunities that address the specific leadership competencies. Delivering the CCC Reconciliation Action Plan
The CCC continued to implement deliverables identified in its Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which was launched in March 2019. To celebrate National Reconciliation Week (27 May – 3 June 2019), the CCC invited Professor Bronwyn Fredericks, the Pro‐Vice Chancellor (Indigenous Engagement) at the University of Queensland, to address staff at an internal forum. Professor Fredericks spoke to the theme of “Grounded in Truth, Walk Together with Courage”, and advocated for long‐term change for improved service delivery. As part of the CCC’s commitment to regional “listening tours”, the CCC’s Chairperson, the Director of Corruption Operations, and the Indigenous Advisor visited Mapoon and Napranum between 11 and 13 June 2019 to engage with
